I have just one final query, which is very short. The Irish Hotels Federation gave a regional breakdown of tourism jobs. I note that in Louth the jobs figure is 2,800 and revenue was €90 million. There seems to be a disparity between jobs versus revenue in comparison to other countries. Does anyone know or have an explanation for that? Perhaps the witnesses could look at that breakdown, which appears towards the bottom. It refers to 2,800 jobs, with revenue of €90 million. Above and below these figures there is a big disparity. What would be the reason for that?
